End Of An Ear Records (Austin, TX) continue to set the bar high with their second label release, following the amazing Stick Men With Ray Guns 'Grave City'. With BLAZE FOLEY's 'Lost Muscle Shoals Recordings' they've moved into finger-pickin' country territory - a far departure from the brutality of Bobby Soxx of the Stick Men but no less essential.

A reissue of the album recorded by Blaze Foley in 1984. A joint release with Lost Art. Recorded with Muscle Shoals studio musicians in 1984, the album was never distributed due to “some trouble with the law” resulting in the confiscation of most of the 500 copies originally pressed. These recordings find Blaze in a rare studio setting performing ten of his well-known compositions including the apparently timeless resistance song, Oval Room, originally written with Ronald Reagan in mind. The outstanding production values and musicianship breathe fresh air into these classic Blaze compositions. The original recordings have been digitally mastered by Austin engineer Mark Hallman.
